Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 0.5 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 cups canned white beans, rinsed and drained
- 0.5 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the shrimp with salt and black pepper. Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and slightly charred. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet.
Add the garlic slices and red pepper flakes, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Stir in the white beans and broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine and the beans to warm through.
Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and chopped parsley. Stir well.
Taste and adjust seasonings with additional salt and black pepper, if needed.
Serve hot, optionally accompanied by crusty bread or over rice for a heartier meal.
